Research paper thumbnail of Crafting Piety for Success: Gülşeniye Literature and Culture in the Sixteenth Century*

One of the sub-branches of the Halvetī order, the Gülşeniye, while being an influential participant in early modern Ottoman politics and society, presents the historian of Sufism with a rare opportunity to approach this gap. Despite offering a wide range of untapped literary, hagiographical, and historical sources, studies on the Gülşeniye remain in the margins. Through Gülşeniye literary production, including poetry and hagio-biographies by dervish-authors, this article explores the mystical thought and piety of İbrāhīm-i Gülşeni (d. 940/1534), the founder of the Gülşenī order of dervishes in Egypt. Close textual analysis of sources reveals that Gülşenī’s inspirations formed the contours of the order’s early literature and culture. I argue that the Gülşeniye literary corpus, and the culture formed alongside it,...

Research paper thumbnail of A Study of the Modern-Day Scholarship and Primary Sources on Ibrāhīm-i Gulshanī and The Khalwatī-Gulshanī Order of Dervishes

This study introduces and examines modern-day Gulshaniyya scholarship as well as a diversified range of unpublished/published primary sources (in Ottoman Turkish and Arabic) written by Gulshanis and others. The majority of the Gulshaniyya corpus still remains in unpublished manuscript condition today. The evaluation of the historical chronicles of the period, as well as contemporaneous hagiographies, biographical dictionaries, and poetry that make up the vast body of literature created by the founder Ibrahim-i Gulshani and the prolific Gulshanis demonstrate that the Gulshanis held considerable socio- political influence in Egypt and the wider Ottoman landscape in the decades following the region’s Ottoman conquest in 1517. By studying and historically contextualizing texts such as hagiographies—usually, and e...
